The Warkawarka, also called Weki Weki, were an Australian Aboriginal group whose traditional lands are located in Victoria, Australia. [1] Controversy exists as to whether they were an independent tribe or rather consisted of a subgroup of the Wergaia, the latter view being shared by both Robert M. W. Dixon and Luise Hercus. [2]
The ethnonym seems to derive from their word for "no" (warki=warka), [1] though the name itself, warkawarka or wargawarga may be a variant of the ethnonym for the Wergaia. [3]
The Warkawarka tribal lands extended over approximately 2,000 square miles (5,200 km2), from Tyrrell Creek and Lake Tyrrell, southwards to Warracknabeal and Birchip. Their western boundary lay along Hopetoun, and they also ranged over the Morton Plains. [1]
